Non-Namespace Packages Don't Work on AWS Lambda

[Miserlou]

I think we just need to throw init.py in there if there isn't one.

"hey, fun fact. python namespace packages don't work by default in AWS Lambda

so far, that means all zope.​_, repoze._​, and google.* packages don't work by copying them out of a virtualenv"

Sorry to jump on a closed Issue - I don't think this is fixed.

It appears to me that https://github.com/google/google-apputils/ does not work with this work around. Using latest zappa to build a zip, when I grab that zip, unpack it into /tmp and run the target script...

ImportError: No module named apputils

I can see that this work around has placed the __init__.py file in the google folder, but that doesn't solve the problem. I'd already tried this solution when manually building the zip file before I found zappa and had given up on it.

Unfortunately, I've experimented with various solutions to for this Google package for a number of hours and still haven't found a work around.

Hm. Google are doing something funky with their packaging. If you can find a way to fix this, let me know or send a PR and we can add it in!
